Choice of degree to pursure

Hi, I will be starting university from Sep 2024. Till now, I always thought I should pursue aeronautical engineering, but I had an idea to check requirements for degree in AI.

I am unsure if the teachers and courses will be any good in the UK, as AI is a relatively new field. And are there good job prospects in this field?

If anyone has taken a degree in AI, pls help and pls suggest some good universities who accept IB score of 38.

There are some Computer Science degrees that include AI but specialism in AI is usually at postgraduate level (Masters degrees).

I've heard

From whom - and how are they measuring this.

The career counsellors at my school. They said UK is not that advanced in the field of AI, so I should apply to USA.

Probably total nonsense then.

And unless your parents have very deep pockets, studying in the US is a ££££££ non-starter.

If you want to experience USA as part of your degree, then opt for one here with a Study Abroad option.

What is your budget for studying and what level of grades do you have?

Hi there,

I would advise you to consider which course interests you more, which would you like to keep learning about and deepen your understanding of, which would offer you more jobs or a better career, consider your future employment options, which career path would you enjoy more, think what do you dislike about each course, which would you consider more mainstream, which one sparks your imagination for further reseach and study and would you like to do a Master's degree or doctorate in one of them.

I know it's a lot of questions and consideration as it is an important choice you will have to make. However, I hope it will help you make a decision. Some self-evaluation and reflection is always good ;-)

I hope I managed to help!

Best of luck,
Melanie
